If you’re unfamiliar with “urbanism,” it's how inhabitants of urban areas, such as towns and cities, interact with the built environment. Positive urbanism inherently supports public transit and mixed use zoning, with an emphasis on making it easier to do everyday errands without needing a vehicle.

As a native Dallasite, I’ve noticed that there is quite a lack of this kind of infrastructure outside of very few places, which is crazy given the population size.

This doesn't apply to just DFW, but I’m working on a campaign to get local officials involved in supporting this kind of legislation forward. One small step in that is furthering the Build More Housing Near Transit Act. August is coming up, and if you want to get more involved in local politics, this is a great starting point.

Hello! We know this is an unconventional proposition for such a special and important night… Inspired by Wedding Crashers… but with permission.

We are looking for 6 invitations to your wedding!

We’re based in the DFW area and flexible with dates. We’re a group of responsible young adults: some recent college graduates, others actively pursuing higher education, and others beginning their careers. Our ages range from 21–23. If you’re feeling unsure, you’re welcome to privately message me for any information that would give you peace of mind. If there are rules you’d like to set or specific individuals you’d prefer we avoid, we’re more than happy to follow your lead. Your vision comes first.

Because this request is inspired by the movie Wedding Crashers, we’d love to capture the fun energy of the film but not the chaos. Our goal is simply to blend in, have fun, and make your guests believe we’re part of the extended circle. If it helps us match the vibe, you can share a brief, vague “family tree” or backstory, and we’ll keep everything confidential. We also want you to know that confidentiality extends throughout this whole process. Anything you share with us stays private!

We’ll show up dressed appropriately, be on our best behavior, and bring nothing but good vibes. We are fully prepared to contribute, whether that’s a gift, a toast, or just being great background characters in your wedding story.

You hold the power to make our Wedding Crashers dream come true.

If this idea feels like a liability or just not the right fit, we completely understand. In that case, we still humbly ask for 6 invitations to your wedding.

For love is beautiful,
Your 6 friends

Moving to Irving/Plano(flexible location) in coming months. Looking for good apartments near Indian restaurants, grocery stores, and Indian community. Safe area + decent management preferred. Any recommendations or places/apts to avoid?

It would be so cool if they were to turn the Sears space into a supermarket or H Mart. One can dream though

The Irving ISD Board of Trustees, without doing an external search, has hired the chief of staff of current superintendent Magda Hernandez, who is retiring at the end of 2026.

Two new board members will be sworn in later this month. They will not have had a say in who runs the district, even though the new superintendent will not take over until January 2027, and will report to them.

The candidate who was chosen, solely through a closed, internal process, has no classroom or principal experience. Irving has a C ranking as a district, with at least 17 schools ranked at an F or D level. But its status quo moving forward.

If I was a teacher, parent or tax payer in the Irving ISD, I would be outraged.
